LILLEY: Canadians are ditching CBC, so why do we keep funding it? | Toronto Sun


Whether we are talking audience share or advertising revenue, CBC is a broadcaster in decline.

Did you know that across Canada, over a total of 27 stations coast to coast, the average audience for CBC’s supper hour newscast was 329,000 people? That’s not 329,000 people per market, that is across the country.

Compare that to just one of CTV’s local supper hour newscasts, CFTO in Toronto, which averaged 1.4 million viewers per night in the first week of 2020. That doesn’t include other major markets like Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary or Ottawa where CTV outstrips CBC. It doesn’t include Global News, which is dominant in Western Canada and like CTV doesn’t take a $1.5 billion per year subsidy from the taxpayers.

These CBC ratings aren’t numbers that I’ve made up, they were contained in CBC’s most recent annual report and highlighted by Ottawa-based media outlet Blacklock’s Reporter.


Other nuggets in that annual report include that CBC’s prime-time audience share in television was 5%, down from 7.6% in 2017-18. We also learned that CBC News Network’s total audience share is 1.4% of all TV viewers.

These slumping ratings mean slumping ad sales, the report says advertising revenue is down 21% overall — the decline in English Canada was actually much bigger, a 37% drop. If it were not for CBC’s French language division having a pretty good year, things would have been much worse.

Ad revenues dropped from $318.2 million in 2018 to $248.7 million in 2019 and things are not likely to get better. Well, except for the increase in government revenue.
I, for one, rather judge a country on its Public broadcasting than on its military.

Yeah OK, lets have Rosemary Barton protect our sovereign in the artic
She can do a two hour special where she scolds the Russians, Danes, Americans and British for their claims/ designs on our sovereign
She can sue them in Canadian court when they tell her to piss off
She has no qualms about suing a political leader and then pretending she is objective

Our military is a joke because it it has been under financed, however when called upon the soldiers have historically punched above their weight and they helped a lot of people

Our Public Broadcaster on the other hand has become a bought and paid for propaganda mill for the liberal party and they have abandoned any notion of journalistic integrity

Judge away

Denmark and Canada are both members of Nato, so I trust
the crisis will be handled without war.

So he was part of the Association that received the Nobel Peace Prize.
In addition to his bullshit elsewhere, Mann's falsely claimed that he was a "recipient" and "co-recipient" of the Nobel Prize in a legal filing in Mann's court case with conservative pundit Mark Steyn and others. Mann had to subsequently withdraw the application and resubmit it with the false statements removed after the Nobel committee confirmed it was total bullshit.

From the Nobel committee: "No, no. He has never won the Nobel prize."

"The organization won it. It’s not a personal prize to people belonging to an organization."


Mann claimed on Facebook there was "some confusion" about whether he could say he was a "co-recipient" of a Nobel Prize.


Think about it. Have you ever heard of a serious scientist who experiences "confusion" about whether or not he has been awarded a Nobel Prize? 😃

Wouldn't you think a so-called leading expert on the future of the planet would know whether or not he has ever received a Nobel Prize?

In that specific case: Yes, he was. As did other like-minded climate researchers.
Show us a link that he was!! Then why shortly after that he gave a lecture that was totally inline with what Mann's Research indicated?
No a vast number of Climate Researchers fully agree with Mann!!

Once again He was part of the Research team that was awarded the Nobel Prize. Period!! Do You think without him and the rest of those who contributed to it, the Nobel Prize would have been awarded?

If a player is part of a winning team that is awarded the Olympic Gold Medal for say Soccer, are You ever going to deny the fact that he won a Gold medal at the Olympic Games?
Are You going to dispute it and tell him that the team won and he did not win it? Seriously? Why should this be such an issue with a bunch of Climate Change deniers?

But The most esteemed award for Environmental Science was awarded to this individual:

Good for her.

The CBC has indeed become infested with leftists and a shadow of its former self. I mean, it was always left of centre, but now it's extreme. Ever since Mansbridge left, the place has gone to hell. The only ones left with any sanity are Ian Hanomansing and Ian McDonald and I suspect that they are both pretty much fed up as well. All of the "not really that old old guard", the folks I like to call "Chretien liberals", (i.e. centrists) have all left or been forced out. Replaced with young left wing extremists who have nothing but disdain for Canada and are all about using the CBC to spread their left wing political agenda. I used to defend the CBC all the time, including my posts here on TERB when others would call for them to shut down, or have their budgets slashed. But I have to admit that in the last 4 or 5 years I now see that indeed they need to be dismantled. They are far too biased and it's sickening already. Time to defund the CBC. (But not the CBC radio, I do think they are pretty good still.)

Edited for grammar typo, to should have been too.
Looks like the unvarnished truth has become increasingly harder for you to accept...

I already did. However, here's a link to an article from the Guardian. It doesn't specifically mention Mann but it once again has Trenberth questioning the statements that were being made about the cold weather in the northeast.

The official response to the first question from the Nobel committee:

"No, no. He has never won the Nobel prize."

"The organization won it. It’s not a personal prize to people belonging to an organization."


The "dispute" came from the Nobel committee, which categorically rejected Mann's claims in a legal filing that he was a "recipient" or "co-recipient" of a Nobel prize. Furthermore, Mann was forced to refile his application after the court learned of the false statements.

Why is it an issue?

It speaks to credibility. It is extremely difficult to believe that Mann doesn't know what the word "recipient" means. A so-called leading scientist who fabricates things that can be easily checked has no serious credibility.

Perhaps that explains Mann's influence on today's politicians. After more than 20 years of Mann's predictions of apocalyptic doom, not a single major country anywhere on this planet is following his recommendations.

In fact, the International Energy Agency has estimated that coal production hit an all-time high in 2021.


As well, International Banker says the demand for coal "soared" in the E.U. in 2021.


You can blather on about "deniers" all you want. The reality is Mann only preaches to the devout faithful and has had no significant influence on energy production on this planet.

Russia is not a member of NATO
Do you trust them to take a good scolding from Rosemary Barton and then back off?

Michael Mann is fraud, an embarrassment for science and a nasty piece of work

That link you posted was in total contradiction of what Trenberth lectured in New Zealand and I posted an actual link of it. Have you reviewed it? If not, then You should scrutinize it, as I posted exactly what the topic subject was about, and that was fully in line with Mann's Research. Hence that original link of yours bore no substance at all.

Now in this Guardian article, all he is doing is stating that the Arctic Glacier melting etc., does play a role but is the unlikely to be the cause. In other words it is nothing to do with Climate Change / Greenhouse Gases and the impact on Storms or Hurricanes that he does believe in. After all this was the subject of his presentation in New Zealand!!

The previously mentioned Roger Pielke had a tremendous line years ago. I think it was when the controversy about the fake "Nobel Prize" blew up.

I'm paraphrasing but the essence of it was: If Michael Mann didn't exist, climate skeptics would have to invent him. 😃

The first link I posted had Trenberth explicitly challenging what Mann was saying -- and you know it.
The first link called "Tallbloke Walkout". Bahahahahaha!! That is more like a wishy washy blog for the Climate Change Deniers!! Post another link where he disputes it. I know You cannot as that link was fake.

Also, You have not explained why Trenberth did a presentation after that so called "specified time" claiming that Climate Change was caused by Human Activities, Carbon Dioxide and Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere, resulting in more severe weather!!

Okay all I can say in layman's terms is the following. Using that logic that the individual who did all the Research resulting in Al Gore and IPCC receiving the Nobel Prize, means that no Canadian Ice Hockey players to be more specific, have won a Gold medal for Ice Hockey. Only Canada did win it.

So Al Gore did a remarkable job, and we have to give him 50% of the credit and 50% goes to the IPCC. We should commend both of them for a remarkable job. Agreed?

Again he was awarded the Tyler Prize Laureate for the Environmental Science in 2019. If he was was so "bad" at his Research why was he awarded such a highly esteemed award for Environmental Science. Tell us which Climate Denial Scientist that You respect was also awarded that prize? We know that the hypocritical Fuel fossil companies were always out to get him in anyway, yet they are the ones that have tried to hide the studies that corroborate that evidence of fossil fuels and it's damage to the environment. They have no credibility or leg to stand on!!

We can continue to increase the coal usage but what we are seeing in Climate disasters around the Globe is unprecedented in the scale at which it is affecting numerous countries including the USA and Canada. No one can deny that fact!!

"The organization won it. It’s not a personal prize to people belonging to an organization."
Same with sports teams, they should never be allowed to say they are champions or won everything.
Right?

Same idea.

The amount of incredibly basic logic fails you post on this board is outstanding.
But what's even more fun is that you will never admit its faulty logic, bad math or just plain wrong.

So tell us why you think Fred Van Vleet should stop claiming he won the NBA championship like Mann should stop saying he won the Nobel.
